Noticed this in dmesg output on my NetBSD 2.0 fileserver:
# dmesg | grep inode
free inode /export1/154134 had 2176 blocks
free inode /export1/154136 had 8192 blocks
free inode /export1/154137 had 8576 blocks
free inode /export1/154138 had 8704 blocks
free inode /export1/154139 had 8960 blocks
free inode /export1/154140 had 9152 blocks
This warning appears to have been issued by ufs/ffs/ffs_alloca.c, from
this code at line 723:
if (DIP(ip, blocks)) { /* XXX */
printf("free inode %s/%d had %" PRId64 " blocks\n",
fs->fs_fsmnt, ino, DIP(ip, blocks));
DIP_ASSIGN(ip, blocks, 0);
}
Can anyone explain to me what this warning means? Does the
"XXX" in the comment mean I can safely ignore it?
